9. If, for any reason (traffic limitation, for example), you do not want the task to start on
all computers simultaneously, set the Start time shift parameter. The task will start on
all computers in turn, with the time shift you specify. As soon as you select time shift, the
resulting task start time for the first and the last computer will be displayed.
10. Now enter the username and password. It is assumed that accounts with the same
username and password exist on all computers of the group. In this case, the task will be
automatically distributed to the computers. Otherwise, you will be asked for the username
and password for every computer during the task distribution.
11. At the final step, the group task summary is displayed. Up to this point, you can click
Back to make changes in the created task.
12. After you click Proceed, Acronis True Image Management Console connects to every
computer of the group in turn to distribute the task. If a remote computer is inaccessible
(shut down, for example), a dialog box appears. In this box, choose Ignore to exclude
the computer from the group or Cancel to cancel the entire task.
When distribution is complete, the group task appears in Group Tasks Management
window. If you connect to any computer included into the group, you will see its
individual task, based on the group task you successfully created.

4.4.3 Group tasks management

The Group Tasks Management window displays the list of group tasks.
To see details of a group task, mouse over the task name.
To create new or delete existing backup task, use the New and Delete items on the
Group tasks toolbar.
To edit a task, select it and click Edit. Editing is performed in the same way as creation,
however, the earlier selected options will be set, so you have to enter only the changes.
Deleting or editing a task does not affect the current task execution. A task, that has been
edited or deleted while running, will come to an end without any changes. The changes
you made will be applied when execution is completed.
